I am a huge Star Wars nerd! In fact, my husband and I went to Star Wars Weekend at Disney World for our honeymoon – and had a blast! We even got to meet Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett himself) and that was super cool! This past weekend was San Diego Comic-Con. I do wish I was there and I was totally living vicariously through my friends who were. There was a lot of amazing announcements that came out of this weekend, but most importantly, was all the Star Wars: The Force Awakens goodies. My husband and I are counting the days until this comes out (December 18th!)! I cannot wait to see it! I just know it is going to blow us out of the water!
Fans at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H were treated to a special look behind the scenes of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS by Director J.J. Abrams, Producer and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and Writer Lawrence Kasdan. The filmmakers were joined on stage by cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford to the surprise and delight of fans.
At the end of the Hall H presentation, the entire Hall H audience of more than 6,000 fans were all invited to continue the celebration and join cast and filmmakers at a surprise Star Wars Fan Concert. The San Diego Symphony performed the classic Star Wars music from John Williams at the Embarcadero Marina Park South. Ummm – can you say jealous!? I would have died if I was there. Well, at least I get to watch this Star Wars Comic-Con Reel over and over – and over…
